SINGAPORE — The first batch of six electric vehicle (EV) charging points under the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) large-scale tender covering nearly 2,000 Housing Board (HDB) car

These charging points are located in two public car parks in Telok Blangah and Boon Lay, with three charging points at each location.Speaking to reporters at the event launch, Transport Minister S Iswaran hailed the deployment of the first batch of chargers as an important development in Singapore's efforts to build up the electric vehicle ecosystem.

“By making charging points ubiquitous across the island, especially in our HDB , we hope to eliminate that range anxiety and therefore encourage greater adoption.” Singapore now has more than 6,500 registered electric cars, and close to 10,000 EVs including other vehicle classes. Wholly-owned by LTA, the subsidiary will work closely with the five successful tenderers and government agencies to plan and manage the deployment of EV charging points, said LTA.
